Ruth Bader Ginsburg's great fear: Courts viewed as partisan
« on: February 01, 2018, 03:16:58 am »
 One of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's great fears is that the federal judiciary will start to be seen as just another political branch of government divided along partisan lines like Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court justice said Tuesday.

Ginsburg skipped President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address, instead speaking at Roger Williams University School of Law in Rhode Island.

She did not discuss the Republican president, but bemoaned the partisan atmosphere in Washington, in particular the divisive process for confirming judges. She pointed to fights over the last four justices appointed to the court: Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch.

"Four fine justices who should have gotten overwhelming support but got many negative votes," she said. "I think it will take great leaders on both sides of the aisle to say 'Let's stop this nonsense and start working for our country the way we should.'"

DUH.  5-4 decisions along party lines?

But better yet Ruthie - most of us see the federal judiciary as ACTIVIST in implementing laws that they have no Constitutional Authority to implement and striking down the will of the people or the legislatures because they contradict Leftist dogma - and that includes YOUR bench too toots.

RBG is part of the old, old school communists. She was already 24 in 1960 when all that communist adoration in America really started up in earnest, especially in the Jewish community. She was there. And, she was an adult at the outset.

I think it is deep seeded in her. And even though Russia is supposedly the bad guy now by the Left, I think that attitude is so ingrained in her, especially at her age, she cannot get over it.

Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

...seems to me she should practice what she preaches.  If she didn't want to appear 'partisan' she might have reconsidered her thinking on not showing up to the STOU.

Agreed.  Not showing up at the SOTU was an act of partisan disrespect.   Physician, heal thyself!

I always figured her biggest fear was getting tagged and put on an ostrich farm.

That's an insult to Ostriches everywhere, not only does Ginsburg have a bigger beak, she also looks far less intelligent. Also while Ostriches have been falsely accused of hiding their heads in the sand, there is no disputing that Ginsburg regularly has her head up her

I'd like to extend an olive branch to Justice Ginsberg and meet her halfway.  I agree completely that Justice Alito, and Justice Gorsuch are fine justices who should have gotten overwhelming support but got many negative votes.

No, but I used to sell an electric fish cooker. It had two little forks you placed into the fish at each end, and it cooked it by the electricity passing betwixt.

Alas it never caught on. I blame the marketing slogan... These are the Tines which Fry Men's Soul.

They did a lot better with a larger version, a chair sold to various States and the Fed..... they didn't even have to change their slogan ....much.  :smokin:
